An Odd Incident.
Philadelphia Record.

An odd incident happend recently at
the West Arch Street Presbyterian church.
There was to be wedding there at 7:3O
O'Clock of young lady with extensive
social Connection in that and other church
es. There were great preparations, and it
so filled the minister's mind that he en-
tlrely overlooked the fact that he had an
appointment to marry another pair at ex-
actly the same hour. When 7:15 arrived
the large church was as full of people as
1T could possibly could be, and the pave
ment on each side of the projecting avn
ing was crowded with the non-in yited,
waiting for that boon which the highest
to lowest enloys-a peep at the bride.
There were at least fifty or sixty carriages
in front of the church. Among the guests
IN the church were bankers, Judges, law
yers, numerous clergymen, and a fine rep
resentation generally of the city's best
social and material prosperity. The organ
was peallng and the minister was in place.
just at this juncture bride and bride
groom-elect No.2, who had been at the
minister's house and been told to go to the
church, drove up in a carriage to the side
door and entered. Around the side door
everything was as quiet as if nothing was
going on. Through the door leading
from the chapel they saw the Illuminated
and crowded church, and Just then the
other bride in white with Jewels, and at
tended by bevy of radient bridesmaids
all in golden-cOlored gowns and preceded
by a retinUe of eleg ent-looking youths,
came up the aisle. 1t was curioHs sur
prise for the puzzled pair in the chapel.
In about ten minutes the church was empty.
While the last of the guests were going
the minister married the second 'nair nrief.
ly in the chapel. The bride was in plain
travelling dress and the groom in ordinary
attire. When they came out to enter the
solitary carriage that stood on the side
street she was leaning proudly on his arm,
and they looked at least as happy as the
other pair.

ToRoNTo, Ontario, May 20.-Editor
William O'Brien and Mr.. Dennis Kilbride
left here this morning for Ottawa by the
$50 o'clock train via the Canadian Paci-
fic Railway. They were driven from the
Rossin House in cab accompanied by
President Mulligan and Secretary Cahill,
of the local branch of the Land League,
the latter, of whom, by the way, does not
appear to have been much hurt during
last nights riot. When they arrived at
the Union Station they found crowd of
about 100 persons waiting for them.
Mr.. O'Brien stepped upon the rear
platform of the parlor car and delivered
brief address. When he commenced to
speak he was greeted with mingled
groans and cheers. He said:
"CITIzFNs OF ToRoFTo, AND BRETHREN IN
THR CAUSE OF FREE SPEECH and of Ireland:
I canot depart without expressing my
thanks toy GU foI the right noble recep-
ton you have acco rded me. AS for the
occurrence of last night, 1 have not the

ate attempt to murder, melted by those
whose position in your city ought to
have taught them better. l shall not a
gain refer to it except to say / came to
Toronto not to defy them, not to dare
them, but at the same time not to fear
tAem. 1t was cowardly to attempt to
murder me, and 1 am willing to leave the
verdict as between them and me to the
fair Judgment of fair-minded citizens in
Toronto"
OTTAWA, May 20.-Editor O'Brien,
spoke at the Royal Roller rink tonight.
AS he stepped upon the platform the vast
audience of 5000 peoble rose as one man
and cheered enthusiastically. Not an
other man could get into the hall. The
whole demonstration was plainly meant
as an answer to the Toronto attack, ana
everybody was talking of annexation.

A Sea Sick Passenger

On the ocean, cares little about a storm. He is
positively Indifferent whether he IS washed over
board or not. But, set right by a wineglassful or
two OF Hostetters Stomach Bitters he feels re-
newed interest in his personal safety. This fine
corrective neutralizes in brackish water often
compulsory drank on shipboard, to the grievous
detriment Of health the pernicious impurities
which give rise to disorders of the stomach, liver
and bowels. To the mariner, the tourist, the
western pioneer and miner, the Bitters is invalu-
able as a means of protection against malaria,
when its seeds are latent in air and water. To
a most reliable antidote, and to the debltated
and nervous, it affords great and speedily felt
lief and vigor.

Not at all Daunted.

TORONTO, May 20-When O'Brien came
down to breakfast this morning he was
fresh for another fray. Piles of con-
gratulatory kilograms from New York,
Boston, Atlanta, Ga, and many other
places IN the states, as well as several
provinces of the Dominion, awaited his
perusal. Everywhere yesterdays dis
graceful proceedings on the part of Lord
LansdOwne's sympathizers are regarded
as a victory for O'Brien's cause. Among
the kilograms of congratulation was one
from Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, of New
York, who expressed himself of the be-
lief that the crusade against Lansdowne
had been immensely strengthened by
yesterdays work. Mr.. O'Brien chatteG
freely with your correspondent. II am
jubilant to-day" he said. cat last I
have brought Lord Lansdowne face to
face with me, and I think the verdict of
the world will be that have not got the
worst of it,
"What do you think of Lansdowne's
defense as given in his interview to the
press yesterday" he was asked.
"That interview is the greatest victory
[ have SO far. I am delighted the news
paper men have drawn his lordship out.
He has all along declared that as the
representative of royalty he could not
make any reply to our charges. He has
stultifed himself. Now his defense is
before the world, and now that have got
him pinned to it 1 hope, please God, to
pulverIzo him with simple facts"
The entire respectable and order low
ing element of Toronto is Disguised and
ashamed Of yesterdays scenes, and
O'Brien has gained much sympathy.

of the New York half holiday law when

At meeting of the Physiological So

when the bee has filed his cell and has
completed the lid drop of formic acid,
obtained from the poison bag connected
with the sting, is added to the honey by
perforating the lid with the sting. This
formic acid preserves honey and every
other sugar solution from fermentation.
Most of the insects that have singing
apparatus similar to that of the bee, are
collectors and storers of honey, so the
sting has double function-it is weap-
